October was a pretty great month, replete with some pretty amazing dining experiences, some awesome live music shows, doing some of the fun tourist-y things there are to do here, and getting to know my city better. And all that's before an incredibly fun, albeit short trip home to TX to visit family, friends, pick up my beloved cat, and have a much-too-short affair with top quality Tex-Mex.
On the ride back up to the Pacific Northwest, there was an interesting storm in Utah, wherein tumbleweeds were scattered all over the place, scooting down the highway, rolling alongside the road, hurling themselves over bridges with the force of some mighty gusts that were a-blowin'. It was quite a sight to see, like being caught in a wild west movie, from the perspective of a 16-foot Penske truck. Some were quite large in size, and not a minute after wondering aloud what one would do if their car impacted one of these giant tumbling balls, I had the privilege of finding out exactly that.
So, in answer to the question at hand, you: a) pull over, managing to not swerve off the road due to the gusty winds, rain, and sheer surprise at the enormous floating weed suddenly all tangled up in your grill, b) step out of the vehicle, c) remove the tumbleweed, and d) watch it blow off into the wind. Follow these simple steps, and you will live to tell about it.
